It started out with my key fob not unlocking my car. So I decided to unlock my car manually, doing so set off the alarm and had the lights blinking and horn going off. So I then decided to order a new fob with a new battery (even though mine was new). That didn't work, so I decided to call someone to come program my fob, thinking that was the issue. So they did. It worked for about 2 weeks. Then the fob didn't unlock my car, brand new fob, brand new battery. Back to square 1, unlocking it manually dealing with the horn issue. Then, 1 day got in my car, started it and pulled in the windshield wipers, the horn went off and would not stop even after shutting off the car. It continued to be an issue and the problem couldn't be resolved. So we pulled the fuse to my horn. Now I'm driving with no horn, a hazard. Issues continued, my car now not only will the alarm still go off with flashing lights now it's not starting, it's even acted up while driving with the engine having weird spasms and accelerating. Worried because I don't know what to expect with this vehicle. I have a brand new battery and even got it tested by mechanics and they said the battery was fine. My car has huge electrical issues and the airbags apparently don't work either. But I've pulled out fuses and it sometimes reboots the car and will start normal and work for maybe a few days before acting up again. Sometimes it won't even start and make a clicking sound as if it's the battery but then after many tries or sometimes a few it'll start. This has been going on for a bit now and has just gotten worse and more worrisome.
The rear drive shaft is causing a rumbling as you speed up or maintain speed. It feels like driving over small speed bumps or rubble strips, even when there is nothing in the road. It is a safety concern because it is a leak in the oil of the drive shaft. It is also a pretty expensive problem to fix. Jeep and mopar need to fix this safety issue. Like yesterday.

My vehicle was driving fine, then all of the sudden I lost all lights, all ignition, a/c everything except the engine. I lost speedometer airbags. The car acted like it was shut off but the engine was still going. My ignition has had problems since August 2014 and I have been calling my dealer every week to find out about parts. The parts have taken longer than a reasonable time to become available. My car now lights up (every check engine, traction control, seatbelt, oil, airbag, every light on the dash) at least 3 times in a half hour period. Was told by the dealer it was due to a faulty ignition. My car will not pass California smog with the check engine light coming on multiple times in my trip anywhere. I was told September 11th they would have the parts available. Then it was moved to October 11th. Chrysler needs to focus more on their customers safety and reliability of their vehicle. It should not take over a year to replace ignition.

I was driving to the work, a semi truck was front of my Jeep,it was a stop sign and the semi truck was stopping and I was slowing down to stop, but my Jeep didn't slow down. Even I was pressing the brake, didn't stop on time and I crashed to the semi truck. Luckily, didn't give any damage to the semi truck , but my Jeep end up total lost. After I got this recall from mail, I realize , the accident wasn't my fault, the Jeep had a factory defected. I need some one to answer this for me. Because I lost my Jeep and got another car to go to work. Till now I was asking myself how I couldn't stop the Jeep and it was only 15 to 20 miles an hours. Now I know it wasn't me.
